(In fairness, Siskel warns viewers first).ĮT TU, BOB: Bob Eubanks must like the Poconos. Gene Siskel blows it when he talks about his picks in one of the supporting categories and Roger Ebert lashes out at his costar and frequent sparring partner for his thoughtlessness. GIVE 'EM HELL, ROGER: Siskel and Ebert's syndicated Oscar show is airing around the country until March 29, and if you don't want to learn what the infamous and well-kept secret in 'The Crying Game' is, don't tune in.

'The gods have conspired to attack this pledge week,' said a demoralized Siegel. The first show, 'The Three Tenors,' was bounced from the air during a major power outage at the station on Monday night. Channel 39 will air two separate PBS specials starring top tonsils Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. Siegel says the station hopes to recover its financial losses - he wouldn't say how much -with an assist from tonight's 'Tenor Sing Along.' From 8 to 11:30 p.m. Rescheduling the Saturday morning-long 'Barney' telethon to yesterday meant bumping the 'Shining Time Station' marathon until 'sometime in August.' First, conditions caused by the Blizzard of '93 meant that phone volunteers for last weekend had to be told not to report, while the station went on automatic pilot. UN-SHINING TIME: The 10 days just concluding have been the pledge week from hell, as far as Channel 39 station manager Shel Siegel is concerned.

'Michener said to me, 'If you don't win an Emmy, there's no justice.' ' He didn't. Michener, who is historically correct, said to me in Colorado, 'You're better than I had envisioned him to be,' or words to that effect. I could have gone on to great serious work after that. 'I said, 'Even the French say your French isn't any good and your English is horrible,' and he said, 'Yeah, but at least I don't say, 'It don't matter to youse guys.' ' Pasquinel was the turning point in my career. we got into this half-a- argument about which accent is the most indefensible, his French-Canadian or my Chicago - I'm from Chicago. He was a helluva drinker, which I was at the time - I consequently gave it up - and we kept talking to each other, and one night in Colorado. Then, I hung around with a hockey player.

He travels to all these different parts of the world collecting accurate accents and teaches them magnificently. I mean, that's what he does for a living.
